So I never realized that he did quite a few of these:
(also the love letters and pick pocketing he does are pretty amusing)

And:
"Alternate versions
Mr. Burke does not exist in the Japanese version of Fallout 3, thus disabling the "detonate the bomb" option in The Power of the Atom as the player cannot get the Fusion Pulse Charge under any circumstances.[1] The player can get the love letters if the Black Widow perk is used."
Wait--wha- ooohhhh....
:(

Also, re: Black Widow perk....WEIRD!

Mon, 04/13/2009 - 9:50amOh, after reading a bit about the contracts for Talon mercs--it seems Burke will put a hit out on you if you disarm the bomb, but you also get a hit on you if you have good karma (the latter seems to override the former IIRC)
Fazil
Mon, 04/13/2009 - 11:14amI had some hits on me signed by Alastair Tenpenny. Possibly because I killed Burke before I disarmed the bomb.

Mon, 04/13/2009 - 3:55pmI also killed him before disarming the bomb altho I made friends with Tenpenny and was still getting mercs after me so it must've been my karma.
